2019: Career Development Workshop: LGBTQ+ in Academia and the Workplace: Rights and the Law

Within every culture and ethnicity resides lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, gender-fluid, transgender, asexual, pansexual and more members. Engaging in differences and providing diverse viewpoints of varied life experiences enriches cultural competency, mutual understanding, and respect between and among identifiable groups. Recognizing, understanding and respecting the intersectionality of people in general is imperative to creating a more diverse and inclusive campus atmosphere and experience and brings a more productive effort in professional STEM environments. This workshop explores the regulatory and social climate and factors that affect the persistence and career success of LGBTQ+ people in STEM.
